Peter Bonetti: Former Chelsea and England goalkeeper dies aged 78

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/52261413


Former Chelsea and England goalkeeper Peter Bonetti has died aged 78 after a long illness. Bonetti was described by Chelsea as a "goalkeeping superstar of the 1960s and 1970s" and "one of our indisputably all-time great players". He was part of England's 1966 World Cup-winning squad but was unused throughout the tournament.
Bonetti made seven England appearances and featured in the 1970 World Cup quarter-final defeat by West Germany.
As well as playing 729 times for Chelsea, Bonetti also had brief spells at American side St Louis Stars, Dundee United and Woking FC during a career which spanned more than three decades.
